Constructive services
The H&S accountant assigned to audit the financial records of our Dallas client, the St. Mark's School of Texas, had never attracted much attention from the students. Last year things changed, in that the auditor was former Dallas Cowboys professional football player Malcolm Walker, now a senior accountant in the Dallas office.
In addition to his audit work at St. Mark's, Malcolm served as a volunteer advisor to the football team, conferring daily with the coaches on the probable strategy of the opponents and the team's game plan. He attended practice almost every day and assisted the coaches in tuning up the team's quick-hitting Wing-T offense.
Malcolm is a native of Dallas, where he won All-Metro honors in football and All-State honors in basketball while in high school. As a linebacker at Rice University, he was All-Southwest Conference for three years and All-American in his senior year He was drafted as a linebacker by the Cowboys in 1965 but was moved to center because of a knee injury suffered in the College All-Star game. While with the Cowboys he played with such notable quarterbacks as
Craig Morton, Roger Staubach and " Dandy Don" Meredith (now a tax client who went on to television fame as a color commentator on ABC's "Monday Night Football").
Malcolm played in two NFL championship games against Green Bay, including the famous Frost Bowl in 1966 when the temperature was 13 degrees below zero. He was traded to Green Bay in 1970 and played a year there before retiring from the game.
Malcolm graduated from Rice University with a degree in mathematics, which is a notable accomplishment itself in the pro football fraternity. While with the Cowboys he studied accounting at SMU in the off season and received straight A's.
An item about Malcolm in the St. Mark's School newspaper, The ReMarker, last fall, said this in appreciation of his efforts: "The school certainly owes its thanks to Mr. Walker, not only for his accounting help, but also for his contribution to the football team. He has certainly been a factor in its success. Hopefully, he will be back next year, and for years to come."
Multifaceted Female
Betty Cobaugh, wife of Gene Cobaugh. a partner in the Fort Lauderdale office, is a busy woman. She wears many hats as homemaker, mother of three, singer, artist, operating room nurse, actress, makeup artist, and costume designer.
Mrs. Cobaugh got into costume designing (one of her favorite activities) when her family was involved in a Miami production of the Menotti opera, "Amahl and the Night Visitors" in Miami. She sang the role of the shepherd boy's mother, and Gene, a tenor, performed as the deaf King Kasper. "We rented costumes;' Betty recalls. "They were so bad, my aesthetic taste was offended." So she began making costumes for the entire cast. Now the family has accumulated the whole bit—props and costumes—for the production, and Betty is a "bona fide" designer for church and civic affairs.
Since moving to Fort Lauderdale in 1969, Mrs. Cobaugh has joined forces with the Park Temple United Methodist Church. She has created costumes for"Noye's Fludde," "Roar of the Greasepaint" and "Scrooge." She also designed costumes for Broward Community College's production of "The Magic Is Me"
Recently Betty had an especially intriguing assignment: costumes for The Madrigal Singers of Park Temple Church. She has converted colorful and luxurious fabrics into authentic garb of the Plantagenet Period, between 1145 and 1399 in England.
"They wore big sleeves',' she explains, "and elaborate headdresses. Women had their hair all covered and they used a lot of feathers. The men were more vain than the women when it came to clothes. The biggest thing was the flowing sleeves and the tight pants"
Creativity has always been part of Betty's life; her mother was an interior decorator and her aunt
made costumes for movie stars such
